Upon its exclusive release on Netflix in 2016, hip-hop- and disco-infused TV series The Get Down was renowned not only for its energetic cast and flashy cinematic style—with Baz Luhrmann in the director’s seat—but also for its sky-high production budget of at least $120 million ($10 million per episode), marking Netflix’s most expensive price tag for a single show at the time. Hip-hop veterans Grandmaster Flash, Kurtis Blow and Nas were brought on either as executive producers or as consultants and coaches for the cast, ensuring that the series would pay proper respect to history.
